Comparison
Looking for a Kicksite alternative?
Martial arts management software, and the closest to us on price. Here is where each of us is stronger, with prices we checked on 31 August 2026 and the sources listed at the bottom.
The difference that is not a feature
Most membership platforms tell you how many members you have. Very few tell you why they leave — and that is not a screen somebody forgot to build, it is a consequence of how long they have been keeping records and in what shape.
Black Belt CRM has been running membership businesses since 2011 and keeps the whole record: every status change, every promotion, every attendance mark, every payment. That is what makes cohort retention curves, tenure at cancellation and churn as a rate possible. A platform holding two years of shallow data cannot produce them by adding a report.
What Kicksite does better
Nothing on price any more, and it would be easy to leave that unsaid. Their strength is focus: Kicksite is martial arts software, and if you run a martial arts business and nothing else, a product built for exactly one vertical is a real advantage rather than a limitation.
They serve one vertical. We serve sixteen, and the same system runs a swim programme, a dance studio and a gym without anything being renamed by hand.
Where we are stronger
Every band. At 25 members they are $49 and we are $39. At 40 they are $99 and we are $59. At 75 they are $149 and we are $59. At 150 they are $199 and we are $85. At 500 they are $199 and we are $125. There is no member count at which they are the cheaper option.
If martial arts is the whole of your business and always will be, their single-vertical focus is worth weighing against our breadth.

Switching
The trial runs 30 days, asks for no card, and switches every feature on. Bring one program across and run it alongside what you have — that is a more honest test than any demo, including ours.
One thing we will not pretend about: we have no import tool. Moving your records across is manual work today. If somebody tells you migration is effortless, ask them to show you.
